Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of steam turbine transportation, and in particular relates to a transportation device for a steam turbine rotor. Background Art
[0002] The steam turbine rotor consists of the main shaft, impeller or drum, moving blades and couplings and other rotating parts of the steam turbine. It has a complex structure and a large volume, which makes it difficult to transport. When hoisting and transporting the steam turbine rotor, due to the complex structure of the steam turbine rotor, the existing transportation method is mostly to directly bind the two ends of the steam turbine rotor with ropes, and then use a hoisting mechanism to transport the steam turbine rotor. However, in actual operation, the method of directly binding with ropes is prone to detachment due to problems with the center of gravity of the steam turbine rotor or shaking during transportation. At the same time, during transportation, the impeller and other components on the outer wall of the steam turbine rotor are prone to contact and collide with external objects due to operational problems, thereby causing damage to the impeller and other components on the outer wall of the steam turbine rotor. The existing mechanism is difficult to ensure the stability of the steam turbine rotor during hoisting and transportation, and it is difficult to fully protect the steam turbine rotor. In order to avoid the above technical problems, it is necessary to provide a transportation device for the steam turbine rotor to overcome the above defects in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

The two protective plates rotate and close to form a closed space for protecting the impeller on the outer wall of the turbine rotor. Protective components are provided on opposite sides of the two protective plates, and the protective components are abutted against the blades on the outer wall of the turbine rotor to avoid rigid contact between the blades on the outer wall of the turbine rotor and the protective plates, thereby preventing damage to the blades on the outer wall of the turbine rotor due to shaking.
[0005] As a preferred embodiment, the protection component includes a plurality of connecting strips spaced apart on the inner wall of the protective plate, an extension portion is provided between adjacent connecting strips, and an arc-shaped space for protecting the turbine rotor impeller is formed between two connecting strips, and capsules are provided at the extension portion and the connecting strip to protect a single blade.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment, a limiting groove is provided on the surface of the protective plate, and an adjustment component is slidably connected in the limiting groove. The adjustment component is used to adjust the interval between the connecting strips and is suitable for protecting impellers on the outer wall of turbine rotors with intervals of different sizes.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment, both ends of the connecting frame are fixedly connected to fixed seats, the fixed seats are penetrated and connected to a key shaft in a limited sliding manner, the key shaft is penetrated and connected to a connecting block in a horizontal sliding manner, and the connecting block is fixedly connected to the protective plate.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping seat located on the lower surface of the connecting frame, and the surface of the clamping seat is vertically slidably connected to a rack. The rack controls the rotation of two key shafts through the meshing transmission of a gear mechanism to close the protective plate and protect the turbine rotor.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, a clamping claw is slidably connected to the inner side of the clamping seat, and a positioning block that cooperates with the two clamping claws is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rack.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, a connector is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the protective plate, one end of the connector passes through the protective plate and is connected to the capsule on the connecting strip, and the other end of the connector is connected to the counterweight box.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the clamping seat is fixedly connected to a connecting seat, the upper surface of the connecting frame is provided with a sliding groove corresponding to the connecting seat, and the lower surface of the connecting frame is provided with a guide rail that passes through the clamping seat and is horizontally slidably connected to the clamping seat.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides a clamping component and a protection mechanism to clamp the two ends of the steam turbine rotor and cooperate with the protection mechanism. The protection component on the inner side of the protection plate fully protects the impeller and other components on the steam turbine rotor. By positioning the shaft end of the steam turbine rotor and rotating and closing the arc plate, a closed space is constructed to protect the impeller on the outer wall of the steam turbine rotor, thereby achieving protection of the steam turbine rotor. When the rack and the positioning block are moved vertically downward to initially fix the steam turbine rotor, the two protective plates are closed to protect the impeller on the outer wall of the steam turbine rotor. The bladder expands and the blades are located between the two connecting bars to further protect the individual impeller components of the steam turbine rotor. The flexible contact between the bladder and the protection portion can prevent shaking during transportation, which may cause damage to the components on the outer wall of the steam turbine rotor. During hoisting, the present invention adjusts the counterweight by real-time monitoring of the overall horizontality. If one end of the clamping component bears more weight than the other end and tilts, the heavier end will transport the liquid in the corresponding counterweight box into the bladder. While protecting the impeller on the outer wall of the turbine rotor and other components, it can perform dynamic balancing according to the center of gravity of the rotor, so that the force at both ends of the clamping seat is balanced, thereby ensuring stability during hoisting and transportation.
